Hi Everyone

I'm trying to install a copy of windows 10 via bootcamp and no matter what I do it keeps failing at the last stage and I get a message saying "Your PC ran into a problem, with a code of critical process died" I am getting the ISO file from the Microsoft site and have tried using a USB thumb drive and also an external drive to do this but keep getting the same result. I've followed the process to the letter and it goes through all the stages in the youtube videos and websites I have visited to learn from but just gets to the end and does this. I'm running a MacBook Air early 2104 i7 with 8GB ram and 500GB SSD. I have tried this on Catalina and have downgraded to Mojave and still the same issue
 
I’m seeing this at the latter stages

In recovery (Command+R) turn off your security and first aid all your drives before trying this again.

Also it could be that you need an older version of windows 10 to get past this due to system age, dm me ill send you the iso repository to try some others.
